Barcode Identifiers as a Practical Tool for Reliable Species Assignment of Medically Important Black Yeast Species
12 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Herpotrichiellaceous black yeasts and relatives comprise severe pathogens flanked by nonpathogenic environmental siblings. Reliable identification by conventional methods is notoriously difficult. Molecular identification is hampered by the sequence variability in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) domain caused by difficult-to-sequence homopolymeric regions and by poor taxonomic attribution of sequences...
